RECORD OF 4 YEAR.
Chronology of the Twelvemonth
That is Just Past.
A PERIOD OF PROGRESS.
Peace Prevails, Though There are
Mutterings of War.

Many Prominent Persons Pass Away.
The Labor Observation-Disclosures
The George Campaign-The Land Move
ment in Ireland-The Eastern War
Cloud-Disasters of all Sorts-Explo-
Unconstitutional Accideuts-The Grim
inaI acknowledgements
The wear of our Lord 1886 has passed
away. All hail to its successor, 1887!
The record here presented has become
history Its careful perusal will show
that the departed twelvemonth will
count for more than naught when the
larger records, that are possible only after
the lapse of time, are made up, Then the
significance of many things now ac-
counted trivial will be apparent. Then
many circumstances now thought impor-
tant will be found to I've of small moment.
The year was notable one in that the
lives of many men of mark went out
during its reign.
The labor movement developed in new
and unlocked for directions.
The Nections of November were full of
surprises feS men of all parties.
Across ser, England, after . long
period of iadeci}'Sn, finally made up her
mind in regard to fhe> Irish question, aud
in December adopt@a strong eoeF'iv'
Upon the continent Of Nropc there
was a continual agitation dNlng the
whole year, which reached the MAXIMUM
when Alexander was deposed from 8Hl-
garia's throne. Peace still prevails, bft
war would not at any time be unex-
pected.
Disasters followed each other closely
the whole world over. The earthquakes
in the Sandwich Islands, in Spain and in
America, and storms of unusual violence
at sea, were especially noteworthy.
For details of all this, and much more,
the reader is referred to what follows.
